Trying something New: Vol. 3

In the process of completely getting rid of my fears of falling and others i have started my "Trying something New" series of which this is the third....

Climbing up a mountain is the last thing you want to do when you're afraid of falling but i jumped at the opportunity recently on a cruise ship in the Bahamas to Climb to the top of a rock climbing wall. The view was of the ocean. Absolutely magnificent but at the same time absolutely scary.... I however am determined to get over this fear and even the thought of being on the 12th floor of a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean close to the sky didn't deter me from doing it!


First things first. Just as in roller skating, one needs the right shoes for this to be successful. Funny thing is, the shoes for all the various events are not the most attractive ones. Hehe.... I'm a Shoe girl:)

Next you have to have the right gear.... So i got geared up....

I then stood there watching others race up the wall as i stood in line looking at this wall i had chosen to take on. A little terrified that the ship seemed to be moving a bit, probably just the water though. I was nervous and excited all at once as i stared at the great wall of LOIS :)

I was ready now to take on my wall.... Here is a clip of my victory....



I left the and stared at the sea below with a smile on my face..... I'm Learning that i can truly do anything if i Just put my mind to it!!!!

P.S. I Also just recently did a handstand for the first time against a wall..... Soon i wont be afraid of falling :)


Have a blessed day.

Trying something New: Vol. 2

This post is rather late as i haven't had time to sit down and write it, terrible excuse.... hope you enjoy!!!

MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr DAY/WEEKEND

A bit of history..... Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States federal holiday marking the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15. The floating holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, though the act predated the establishment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by fifteen years.


Throughout the weekend there are various events happening. Parades, BBQ's family time..... One event i attended for the very first time was Battle of the bands. I felt as though i was right there on the set of one of my favorite movies Drumline..... so cool!!!! We saw the Middle and High school students and i'm told that the college level is really what i need to see. So i look forward to that!!!


When we arrived we were greeted by this man checking our tickets.... his teeth or grill as they call it just amazed me.... i mean how do you eat???? mmmmhhhh anyhoooo lol

We got our seats and i immediately went into Film mode hehe

The evening was great but it started raining so an investment in some ponchos was the way to go.... But first i tried covering myself with surrounding umbreallas..... it didn't work at all.... SMH

We then resorted to drive to the nearest Dollar store and invest in some ponchos... these things are magnificent.... :)

I had a blast with my friends! They are helping me understand American Culture and i'm loving doing something New in the process of it all!!!!

I have captured a few of my favorite moments of the evening.... I hope you will enjoy it too....



Have a wonderful day:)
